Unless it's the tie rods or the control arms, or some loose bolts, I'm at a loss.
Jack the front of the car up and grab a wheel. Try to wiggle side to side. If you can move the wheel then you have a bad tie rod; and if you have a bad outer you may have a bad inner. If you grab the top and bottom of the wheel and can move it back and forth, you have a failed wheel bearing. I did tie rods today. Easy if you have the right tool. Apologies if you knew this.

Which tool please? I'm looking at replacing at least the outer tie rods on my new to me 99. Thanks!
